Getting back available space by deleting files.

Hello: 

My free plan is out of space.  I have several files there that no longer need.  

My question is, if I delete them does that gives me space back to use or am I force to subscribe to a pay plan in order to save things?

    Hey magicalwizard, thanks for posting to our Community! 

     

    If you remove content from your Dropbox account, that should free up your Dropbox space.

     

    In order to be able to add new content, you'd need to be below your allocated quota. You can see your account's plan & how much content you're currently using here.

     

    I hope this helps!
